Xeno snubline convention - Reeves - 06-05-2020
These are the snubs.
We need to pick a convention for them, so three conventions have been devised either in a curated or a community-submitted manner and proposed here for you to choose from. These are the options you can vote for:
A)
XAF-337R "Skirmisher" Xenos Heavy Fighter
XAF-337M "Raider" Xenos Very Heavy Fighter
XAF-339R "Striker" Xeno Bomber
B)
XAF-337R "Dissident" Xenos Heavy Fighter
XAF-337M "Radical" Xenos Very Heavy Fighter
XAF-339R "Fanatic" Xenos Bomber
C)
XAF-337R "Recluse" Xenos Heavy Fighter
XAF-337M "Huntsman" Xenos Very Heavy Fighter
XAF-339R "Goliath" Xenos Bomber
Please keep this thread clean and limited to voting for any of the three options, if you derail this thread into a pointless arena for bickering, then neither I nor anyone else trying to be useful and productive will take the things you post here seriously.
That said, thank you for your participation.

I particularly like Dissident and Radical as ship names, not too big on Fanatic, though, doesn't have the same ring to it. What about Extremist?
Anyway, option one is too cliché and option three's spiders are boring. I'm down as option two.
RE: Xeno snubline convention - Venkman - 06-05-2020
B) of course. The rest are cringe.
RE: Xeno snubline convention - Havok - 06-05-2020
Yeah, B) is best.
RE: Xeno snubline convention - Promotheus - 06-05-2020
Went with A m'self, B seemed to cultlike imo. Good choices all around.
RE: Xeno snubline convention - Toaster - 06-05-2020
I like option C, except for Goliath. Can't come up with an alternative though.
RE: Xeno snubline convention - Old Oak - 06-05-2020
B is da bae
RE: Xeno snubline convention - Galaxian - 06-05-2020
Oh, cool. Xenos are getting a snub line.
I voted B, it fits best with the Xeno ideology in my opinion.

I don't like A, because two of the three feel more like roles than names, and C is bad because you don't want your gun line and your ship line to share theming - you'll end up running out of names eventually. I do share Mep's dislike of Fanatic, but other than that B's pretty solid.
RE: Xeno snubline convention - Havok - 06-05-2020
Having through about what the previous posters said about B, perhaps the "Extremist" fits a little better into the naming scheme.
